Australia's Melbourne city located in the state of Victoria attracts thousands of visitors every year due to its widespread attractions, best restaurants, and the beautiful cityscape.
Start your Melbourne journey with an exciting surge of adrenaline by trying out the rap jumping in South Bank. It may seem that you are quite insane throwing yourself down face first from a seven storey high building but this is actually one of the most thrilling but safest freestyle rope work so there is nothing much to worry.
Standing 297 meters high on the iconic Eureka Tower in the heart of Melbourne, the Eureka Skydeck is the best viewpoint of the city. It overlooks the whole city providing an unhindered clear view of the beautiful cityscape. The favourite activities are watching the sunset and walking down the 3 metre edge protruding out from the building.
The Southgate Love Lock Bridge is frequently visited by the lovebirds who want to put a lock on their love and seal it away for a lifetime. Young couples buy a padlock with their initials engraved on it and lock it to the bridge and throw the key into the river so that no one will ever be able to open the lock, signifying eternal love.
A guided street art walking tour, which is the one and only of that kind in Australia is a unique experience greatly different from watching art in an air conditioned gallery. You can get a closer look at the city's politics, culture, and other aspects through the colourful creations of street artists.
The Melbourne city dazzling with lights during the night time provides an ideal setting for some professional clicks. Don't forget to take your camera with you if you are taking a stroll in the city during the night.
The Public Bar near the Queen Victoria market is a wonderful spot to sip a drink leisurely and for quite a cheap price, and enjoy a great live stand-up comedy. The choice of music is an ultimate expression of the city's spirit.
One of the must do's in the Melbourne city is the hot air balloon ride which takes you on a delightful journey over the buildings of this buzzling city. Take a look at the commercial buildings and hotel apartments in Melbourne CBD from the top to see how skillfully they have been structured.
If you are staying in a fine hotel or a serviced apartment like Oaks On William, you will most probably have the facility to call for a taxi whenever you feel like getting a city ride. But trying out the free tram ride around the city is an experience that you do not want to miss.
The Melbourne Museum located in Carlton Gardens is a perfect display of Victorian city life, including its history and culture. There is also the 'Forest Gallery' showcasing the natural environment and wildlife.
The fashion indulgence of the Melbourne visitors always carries them towards the Chapel Street. It doesn't matter if you go window-shopping or on a real shopping spree, you will not get disappointed here. There are plenty of dining options, which make the trip more desirable
